I was a bit disappointed with the report though as the BBC only said they obtained the information from a 'Saudi Source' this meant that the source cannot be verified and is just 'khabar angin' or unsubstantiated rumors. More so when the source was quoted to say 'the donation was made amid concern in Riyadh about the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood'. Muslim Brotherhood? Those brothers have never had any real presence in Malaysia lah kawan. I think our Special Branch would have rounded these people up as soon as they landed in the KLIA airport anyway. Tak payah bagi derma pun.

Some of the Pronajib bloggers did went to town with the BBC story, but I am sure they'll recover from their festivivities soon.

The headline is a bit off because in it Dow Jones Business News reported:

'A Saudi government official, while declining to comment specifically on the prosecutor's statement, said the Saudi ministries of foreign affairs and finance had no information about such a gift and that a royal donation to the personal bank account of a foreign leader would be unprecedented. Representatives of the royal family couldn't be reached for comment. Critics of the Malaysian prime minister said it was implausible the money had come as a personal donation.'

Note that the Dow Jones Business News used the word Saudi Government Official instead of the BBC's "Saudi Source". Now it goes on to say that the Saudi Government had NO information of such gift and that a royal donation to the personal bank account of a foreign leader would be unprecedented. Never been done lah maknanya tu.

Anyway I did ask yesterday when SPRM and Dr Mahathir will respond....be enlightened friends:
